RESvILLE, the chief of the Sisseton
tribe of Sioux Indians who is visiting
ST. Paul, informed the GLOBE yesterday,
through Col. BRowN as interpreter, that
the 800 Indians On his reservation had
all availed themselves of the Severalty
law and had their lands properly allOt-
ted to them. The Indians of the Sisse-
ton reservation, under the direction of
RENvILLE, have organized an amateur
republican government. They have
regularly established executive, judicial
and legislative departments. Rem
VILE, the first chief of the tribe, is
governor, and enforces the laws which
his legislature passes. The Indian JUS
tees interpret the laws and prescribe
penalties for all minor offenses. There
is also an efficient educational system in
force on the reservation.
~
1t will be remembered that RENvILLE
and his tribe remained friendly to the
whites during the Sioux outbreak in
SG2-63. and RESvILLE himself rendered
valuable service to Gen. SIBLEY'S COM
mand as the leader of band of Indian
scouts. RENVILLE is now an old man,
but still retains the erect carriage and
elastic step of his younger days. His
face denotes character and ability, and
he looks the typical brave that the fic-
ton writers tells us of.

declining days" said the venerable chief
